namebench throws syntax error under Python 2.4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Grab the namebench tarball (or check out the latest code from SVN) on 
any CentOS or RHEL machine (they still ship 2.4 as standard)
2. Run namebench.py.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-> ./namebench.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./namebench.py", line 40, in ?
    from libnamebench import cli
  File "/home/cchandler/sources/namebench-read-only/libnamebench/cli.py", 
line 28
    from . import base_ui
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest SVN build as well as 1.2 demonstrate this behavior.  This has occurred 
on a few python 2.4 boxes, yet works correctly in 2.6

Update: namebench 1.04 works on Python 2.4.  Not sure when 2.4 became 
unsupported.

Fixed in r801 - namebench 1.3.x will be compatible with Python 2.4 again.
